Thank you Robert Guyette From: RicksPlace [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2013 12:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Visual Basic 2010 Bruce: Let me check it out since my first glance is that might be the whole package and a whole lot of things you dont need nor want to muck with trying to install and uninstall. Especially the Sql Server can trash your machine if you make a mistake so hold off installing if you havent so far and I will check that download and find a good one if that is not a good one. I will do that right now.

The language and pretty much all the controls (windows controls) are identical. WindowEyes works well with the IDE once you set it up for accessibility and it doesnt need any scripts. Those things that are a bit tricky I have found work-arounds for and can help you there as well as with your projects, cant do them but can help with tutoring if you want. I use vb.net 2008 all the time with WindowEyes and can do pretty much everything except muck with WPF stuff which I dont think is very accessible. I also have not worked with the Debugger, if you learn it you can teach me, but I think it is accessible, at least I hear JAWS users talk about using it off and on. If your instructor will let you work around any inaccessible features or designs I think you have the background to excel in vb.net since it is so similar to vbs and you already know logic design. If you drop the course you can take your time learning the IDE and that would help you get a better grade perhaps. In either case I will help you set up vb.net for accessibility and tutor you if you want. That said, I am not sure where to get that version of vb.net express anymore but can check it out if your instructor gives you approval. Otherwise 2010 is accessible enough so long as hyou dont use the designer and if absolutely necessary NVDA will work to do something there and then you can switch back to WindowEyes but you can try and avoid the Designer in many ways. Let me know if you can use 2008 or if you have to use 2010 in the class and I will see what is available. Rick USA
